You sure are Anti-capitalist, which means you vote democrat. What new product will people develop if they know the corrupt government will decide how much they can charge? None! Just look at all the new products coming from the socialist government. It is the free enterprise that will bring the latest and greatest technology and medicine. Let the free market decide the cost.

My dad sat for 2 and a half hours with 2 broken ribs at Canoga park hospital and had full medical insurance. I am fairly sure he didn't get what he paid for.

Funny that people scream foul when the oil companies charge what they want and show 24 billion in profits but health care is a take all you can get proposition. I guess watching out for your fellow man and the Hippocratic oath are just ideas and words anymore.

alright man, we agree.

my dr. asked me how my medication has been workin and i said absolutely great.
Her response: oh okay, well i can up your dosage if you want.... wtf

One.... Re-read the post again and you might comprehend what was written.

Two... I am a registered Repubulican.

Three... I am totally against Hillary's plan to garnish wages of people who do not pay into her propose health plan.

Four... If you have re-read and still not understand what was scripted, I will explain.

The whole jist is/ was that everyone is over charging and that is why insurance is not affordable to the average american.

The Dr's cant afford malpractice insurance due to all of the fake lawsuits the lawyers bring to the table.

Should a hospital be able to charge ten bucks for twenty five cents worth of bandage. Should a hospital be able to charge four grand a night for a private room?

Should a company like Amgen be able to charge medicare fifteen hundred dollars per dose for a medicine when it has been proven that with a fifty percent markup is worth six hundred dollars. That is the same medicine that has taken them to bankruptcy for killing patients, I might add.

Five.... I never said socialize medicine, I never said take it from the hands of the people that run it... I said everyone one sit down and discuss what is fair to all parties. If you streamline it and do some collective bargainning it is a win win for everyone. Right now it is just the government trying along with the special interest groups. And you know and I know that will get us crap.

Just remember the little girl that just died due to the insurance saying her transplant was experimental. If there was some type of adjustment maybe the insurance companies would not be so quick to dig in their heels and you would hear less of these stories.

Also don't ever assume you know me...because you don't! Also is this not a open forum? Which is the basis of our 1st amendment of FREE SPEECH. Can you not reply without personally attacking someone in your reply? What is up with you? Are you a runaway field tester for PROZAC? Go get a fix if you need it... What's next your fonts gonna beat up my fonts? Geez man what's your problem.....
